Effect of Partially Hydrolyzed Guar-gum Treatment on Fecal pH in Mice Fed with a High-fat-diet
Hibikino-Musashi@Home 2023 Team Description Paper
This paper describes an overview of the techniques of Hibikino-Musashi@Home,
which intends to participate in the domestic standard platform league. The team
has developed a dataset generator for the training of a robot vision system and
an open-source development environment running on a human support robot
simulator. The robot system comprises self-developed libraries including those
for motion synthesis and open-source software works on the robot operating
system. The team aims to realize a home service robot that assists humans in a
home, and continuously attend the competition to evaluate the developed system.
The brain-inspired artificial intelligence system is also proposed for service
robots which are expected to work in a real home environment
Effect of Partially Hydrolyzed Guar-gum Treatment on Fecal pH in Mice Fed with a High-fat-diet
The Effect of Voluntary Exercise on Gut Microbiota in Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Intake Mice under High-Fat Diet Feeding
Although dietary fiber treatment alters the gut microbiota and its metabolite production, it is unclear whether or not exercise habits can have a supplemental effect on changes in gut microbiota in dietary fiber-treated mice. To clarify the supplemental effect of voluntary exercise on gut microbiota in partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG), which is a soluble dietary fiber, treated mice under high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, 4-week-old male C57BL/6J mice (n = 80) were randomly divided into two dietary groups: the control-diet (CD) and HFD. Then, each dietary group was treated with or without PHGG, and with or without wheel running. After the experimental period, measurement of maximal oxygen consumption, a glucose tolerance test and fecal materials collection for analysis of gut microbiota were carried out. Voluntary exercise load in PHGG treatment under HFD feeding showed the supplemental effect of exercise on obesity (p < 0.01) and glucose tolerance (p < 0.01). Additionally, in both CD and HFD groups, voluntary exercise accelerated the decrease in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in mice fed with PHGG (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that voluntary exercise might activate the prevention of obesity and insulin resistance more via change in gut microbiota in mice administrated with PHGG
